The Word
Jesus Christ is the Word. The Word is Scripture. Christ in us is the hope of glory. So, what really does all of this mean? Several thousand years ago, and even several hundred years ago, most people didn’t have a personal copy of the entire Word of God. Early in history the Word was not […]
RE-surrection!
The resurrection is the exclamation point of history. There is no other event to compare with it. Christ stands again, to accomplish what nobody else could. His resurrection is an escape from this cycle of death and decay, which has encircled humanity from the time of Adam. But, what really is resurrection? What does it […]
